I'd make a few small tweaks here and there, but I gotta say that is a pretty solid mock draft in my opinion.

EMG, even though you and I don't always see eye-to-eye, I have to concur, this has the makings of a nice mock draft.

Yea I think he winds up going right behind Fultz at 2 and I really like him in Dallas which is pretty much a clean slate right now to rebuild around whom ever they take. I don't know where that leaves Smith Jr. The next few teams all seem like a bad fit.

Could see Dennis going to Dallas as well as the offensive focal point once Dirk hangs it up with Lonzo dropping to Phoenix and making that team special with Booker in the back court and those young bigs rolling to the cup.

Honestly I don't think he drops past 2. He is too intriguing of a player to me. Undoubtedly a far better fit though in phx.

Wouldn't be surprised if we see trades with all the talent here and fit should be a theme this year.

If the Celtics pass on Giles it will be a tough pill to swallow. No Rabb in the lottery at all?

He has had two ACL surgeries and is out now with a knee injury. It would be real had to take him top 5 in my opinion, let alone top 3 like you are suggesting.

Rabb I have never liked, I haven't seen him play this year and unless he is a completely different player I don't see him getting taken in the lottery.

Rabb has been phenomenal to start this season, and the Celtics are desperate for a transcendent player and can afford to gamble on Giles raw talent much like they just did with Jaylen Browns raw talent. The fact that he fits a position of need is an added bonus.

I have never looked at him as a transcendent talent and have always had him lumped in with many of the other prospects at the top of the draft, only his injuries are what sets him apart from them. If you just want the best talent you may be taking Dennis Smith Jr.
